Periprosthetic joint infection of the knee complicated by primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis: a case report
Skin lesions in PLCA patients may potentially contribute to the risk PJI following arthroplasty. Strategies such as using tacrolimus for itching management, along with prophylactic antibiotics during PLCA flare-ups, could potentially aid in preventing and managing PJI in this patient population. Further research is needed to elucidate the relationship between PLCA and PJI post-arthroplasty.
